Pin itThe line of American Girl Craft kits can be found at most Michael’s, Joann, Barnes and Nobles and lots of other stores these days. We have picked up a few of them and Natalie has had fun making an apron for her dolls, sewing the Owl, she’s working on the pom-pom scarf and she [...]
Pin it When we were at the American Girl store yesterday, we just had to check out McKenna and her collection for ourselves. While I really love her starter set, especially the exclusive warm ups, the practice outfit part of her set is already sold out and on backorder. We had considered picking her up [...]

Pin itThis past weekend was one amazing blur for me!! On Friday night my son had a high school swim meet, Saturday morning Natalie had a swim meet about an hour away, then Sunday morning Natalie had the second day of her swim meet in the morning and Megan had her first gymnastics meet since [...]
Pin itI just LOVE sharing all these photos that our fantastic readers send in! Here is yet another doll house for American Girl dolls and it even has a garage for little brother’s cars and trucks!

Pin itThere are some pretty crafty people out there creating some really nice dollhouses for their American Girl doll collections. I actually have a few more dollhouses submitted by readers that I need to post, but first, I want to share these photos submitted by Addie of the dollhouse she and her husband made for [...]
Pin itIf I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times – I LOVE OUR READERS! Domenica has shared photos of her Pre-Mattel also known as Pleasant Company Samantha collection. Stunning!! In Domenica’s own words: I received my doll in 1992 for my 8th birthday, which was also the year I had a tea [...]
Pin itHere we are at Shooting Star Academy where McKenna and her teammates train… McKenna is not here today because she has an appointment with the doctor to see if her cast is ready to come off! (Ok, so I am totally making this up, but I needed a lead in for sharing the photos [...]
Pin itOur dolls are upstairs practicing for their next gymnastics competition, but while they are getting their workout in, I wanted to share this super easy, FREE (always good) “how-to” with you. I am not sure I would really call this a craft, but since it does involve tape and scissors, you might think so. [...]
Pin itIt’s a pretty dreary, rainy, cold day here and I almost wish I had the American Girl Cozy Sweater in my size!! Anyhow, this is one of the outfits Natalie had wanted for her dolls for a while and when we were at the American Girl store at Tyson’s after Christmas they were out, [...]
Pin itEveryone has been saying the the new American Girl of the Year for 2012, McKenna, looks a lot like the MyAG #39. My daughter got the MyAG #39 for Christmas and one of her best friends just got McKenna this week. She brought McKenna over today for a quick photo shoot before swim practice. [...]

Pin itWhile we haven’t ordered the McKenna doll yet, we did order her gymnastics equipment and a few outfits. I haven’t even had a chance to photograph it all, but I did get a quick video of my girls creating bar routines for the dolls. In their video, Gwen is performing while Sonali cheers her [...]
Pin itYesterday we were out running errands and Natalie was “channeling” Karen! It was so funny. We were looking in the dining linens area of Bed Bath and Beyond in search of a tablecloth for our real dining table when Natalie spotted these cut-out felt placemats that were on clearance for 99 cents. – she [...]
Pin itGymnastics leotards for dolls is certainly nothing new – American Girl has had two versions of a leotard and warmup outfit in the past and I have seen leotard companies selling doll sized leotards at competitions for years, however, with McKenna the GOTY 2012 being a gymnast, I am thinking we will see a [...]
